Materials Pass the Parcel

Today we were discussing different materials.

We talked about different characteristics of materials: which are waterproof or absorbent, reflective, rough or smooth, hard or soft, transparent, translucent or opaque, hot or cold. We played a game of pass the parcel where the winner each time had to describe the material they had before unwrapping it to get their prize.

Inside each layer there was also a 2D foam shape and we discussed these shapes too…their names, colours, angles, corners and whether they roll or not. We really enjoyed this game and we learned lots about materials and 2D shapes.
